Mazhapolima presentation dr v kurien baby oct 2011Veettal Kurian
Local solutions to the global concerns of climate vulnerability and water resource conservation can go a long way to ensure water security and sustainability. The presentation provide the case study of an innovative community led- government facilitated action research of cost effective harvesting of rainfall using a menu of simple technologies to make a large network of open wells perennial in a coastal district of Kerala, India. The experiment started by the District Collector, in 2008 could so far directly recharge 16000 open wells in Thrissur district alone, though decentralized government led community action. Studies have shown that, the experiment has resulted in significant improvement in water quantity and quality in saline affected areas, building resilience and providing evidences on the interplay of water security, and community action in an uncertain environment of climate change as an adaptation model.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

received 1st division in Matric from the Sindh Chapter. Attendance rates are close to 90% for both students
and teachers and survival rates to secondary school are also high

► Statistics
• Total# of Volunteer Signups in 2014: 136
• Total# of Volunteer Signups in 2013: 63
• Total# of PTMs promoted to PTLs (this
quarter): 4
• Total# of new signups staffed on project
evaluation: 13
► Communication and
Recruitment
• More direct calls with volunteers and
arranging casual gatherings (within Lahore)
to improve communication, creating a better
relationship between them and ADP.
• An unofficial partnership with LUMS has
created a ground for recruiting more good
quality volunteers with higher potential for
being part of evaluation
► Increased Opportunities
• Volunteers unsuitable for project evaluation or site
visits are still being kept on record for other
opportunities. Their contacts or expertise to benefit
ADP in other ways.
• Volunteers already engaged with other development
organizations express interest in
collaborations/partnerships with ADP.
• Visits to past project sites arranged for 2014,
increasing staffing of site visit volunteers
► Feedback
• Inquiring constant feedback from project teams has
helped improve staffing mechanisms e.g. selecting
teams within suitable time zones only.
• Questions for Net Promoter Score have been added
to feedback forms. Calculation of quarterly NPS to
begin at project completion.

35. A. Water Intervention Models
35
SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER
Hand pumps Can reach a large number of beneficiaries (though
not more than 200 per pump)
Low cost per beneficiary
Minimum maintenance and repair required
Simple technology
Water fit for drinking purposes is
available at a maximum of 100 feet
No drainage/contamination issues are
prevalent
Community is comfortable and familiar
with hand pumps
Water must only be for household
consumption and not for agricultural
purposes
Hand pumps will last no more than 5-7
years (depending on maintenance,
weather conditions etc)
Can be affected by natural disasters like
floods
Can fall into disrepair if not properly
maintained
most recent ADP project:
PRDS
Water
filtration
plants
Model can be specified depending on the
particular type of contamination present
High number of beneficiaries can be reached
Constant water supply is already
available
A safe place must exist for the
installation of the filtration plants (e.g
school/office building)
Maintenance and repair
Community involvement
Complicated technology and unsuitable
for remote villages
most recent ADP project:
BDS
Rainwater
harvesting
Communities with very little access to water can
get water almost all year round
Rainwater harvesting structures (ponds) can last a
life time
Very little maintenance/repair is required
Needs of the entire village can be met
suitable in desert areas or in some cases,
in mountainous areas
access to clean drinking water is difficult
drought ridden areas
Dependence on rainfall
Risk of contamination (proper use of
filters)
Cost per beneficiary is high as compared
to other ADP projects
most recent ADP project:
SF
Solar pump on
existing dug
wells
Needs of the entire village can be met
Depends on solar energy (no energy costs
associated with the project
Solar pump can last for 20 years with minimal
maintenance and repair (hardly any costs
associated with this)
Storage tank helps store water for when pump
does not work
Areas where dug wells are present and
clean drinking water is available below
200-250 feet
An area where there is sufficient sunlight
Water in the wells must be clean
Source of water must be enough to
meet the needs of the entire village
Cost per beneficiary is high

36. B. Education Intervention Models

SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER
LCPS Targets marginalized communities
Affordable education (PKR <500/month)
Addresses critical gaps of demand and supply in
education. Often offers the only educational
opportunity to low income communities
Many LCPS focus heavily on female education,
Students are more likely to complete education due to
affordability
Families which can afford fee structures of PKR
<500/month or less
Operating costs are often not covered
through tuition fees, making some NGOs
donor dependent.
Educational quality is often sacrificed
The best teachers cannot be hired and
teacher training becomes costly
Educational outcomes are often lower
most recent ADP project:
Bunyad, APS
High cost,
higher quality
Families which can afford fee structures of PKR 1000-
15000
Financially sustainable model (opex covered through
tuition fees).
Often hire the best teachers (with B.A degrees or
above) and provide regular teacher training
Learning outcomes are high and often match those of
excellent institutions in the country. This means
bringing low-income groups at power with higher-income
students and giving them access to similar
opportunities and social mobility
Presence of lower middle class families Education is at risk of becoming
unaffordable if tuition fees keep rising to
cover OPEX.
Lower-income families cannot afford the
education or may choose to put one
child in school (often the male child).
The audience targeted may not be the
one in the most marginalized conditions
most recent ADP project:
MHSF
Public-private
partnership
Public sector role in education
The funding is from the public sector, the quality is of
private sector level.
Improves quality of education in government schools
Red tape; delays in approvals
Teacher tenure means they cannot be
held accountable
NGOs often have minimal say in decision
making thereby making their role
insignificant in some areas
most recent ADP project:
PEN/FDO
Informal
schools
Can target marginalized communities, especially victims
of terrorism, refugees and other vulnerable
communities who have been displaced
Problems with standardization and
structure
Difficulty with M&E
